Air Temp Sensor- off car
35degrees - 60 degrees
1.35 - 0.550
Thermo Fan switch- off car
Coolant Temp Sensor- off car
C.T.S (coolant temperature sensor) The C.T.S is a N.T.C thermister. As the coolant temperature sensor heats up the resistance decreases. The bio-metals inside bond at different temperatures.

Air Flow Meter- off car

A.F.M (vane or flap air flow sensor) I tested a faulty 1. no results.
An air flow meter operates similar to an TPS. It has a potentiometer inside it and the swivel arm that attachs to the signal is hooked up to the flap piece that opens and closes. As the flap moves it moves the arm up and down the potentiometer (variable resistor) changing the output voltage depending on where it is on the potentiometer. The signal is sent to the ECU and tell it how much air flow is in the intake manifold.
MAF sensor- off car
MAF sensor (Mass Air Flow) 1.132v (No air flow) By blowing through it we get 3volts out of the signal. The results were within specifications. A M.A.F sensor works by, as air passes through the sensor the crystals change creating a high voltage output signal.
